After the consolidation of the two protests, which concern the bridge contract at issue, the Agency announced they had issued a related, competitive solicitation on or about June 17, 2025 to meet the same needs as the SCaaS task order. The competitive solicitation, Digitalization-as-a-Service (DaaS), closed on July 16, 2025.
…On July 23, 2025, the Agency explained that they had received proposals for the DaaS solicitation and that the Agency was in the process of evaluating those proposals. At present, there is no date certain as to when the Agency will award the DaaS task order, but the original notice of corrective action estimated that the award would be made by mid to late August.
… the agency also announced that it had exercised the first one month option period on the SCaaS task order with Iron Mountain to continue providing the Agency with bridge coverage until the DaaS task order is awarded. Further, the Agency has explained that it plans to cancel the SCaaS task order once the DaaS task order is awarded and performance begins. Once the SCaaS task order is canceled, the parties agree that this protest will be rendered moot. Thus, the SCaaS task order—a bridge contract—will likely be canceled soon after the DaaS task order is awarded.
